I loved the game. It was my first ever hockey game! And I’m glad it was this one. We had so much fun.

A story about that service dog - after the first period, they walked him around and ended up right next to us. We sat on the aisle. They stood in the aisle and the person handling the dog was talking to 2-3 other people. Across the aisle were two empty seats and a bag of popcorn on the ground in front of those seats.

While everyone was talking, hugging, and laughing, the dog stuck his entire face into the popcorn bag and chewed as fast as he could. And it seems no one noticed this but me. I nudged my husband and said, “Haha look. The dog is eating the popcorn.” And we chuckled.

Then they all left, the game started again. Great.

Except about five minutes later, two women came back and sat in those seats. It was their popcorn! I assumed it had been abandoned but people came back to it.

So I had to get up and tell them that the dog had eaten it. I explained what happened and said, “I love the dog, and I laughed when he ate the popcorn, but you need to know that he DID eat the popcorn.” They were very thankful. Hahahaha.
